Everything about The Boathouse was on point. From the service down to all of the entries we had, everything was fantastic. My wife had the lobster roll and loved it. I had the Filet Mignon sliders and the baked potato and they were great as well. Drinks were also outstanding and from a value standpoint, we were very satisfied. There’s a reason the Boathouse is a standout restaurant, and tonight was another reason why we’ll be back.

It was delicious and the service was fantastic! It was a little noisy because we were next to a large party and they were a little loud. Other than that it was great! We love coming to Christner’s to celebrate special occasions.

Amazing experience. Food, staff, atmosphere were all outstanding. Staff made you feel important and answered all of our questions, even those not concerning the food. Food, just can’t compare it to anything else, I have never had such a flavorful and cooked to perfection steak as that. Atmosphere was great at 5pm. Quiet and calm. Best meal I have ever had.
